april back to the future


For April we are going Back the the Future! We want you to be your own fairy godmother (or godfather) giving oh-so-wise advice to your (probably very naive) fresh faced newbie self.
"What do you know now that you wish you knew before you got into real estate?"

The challenge: Write a post to yourself -- as a newbie -- giving yourself advice about your new career. Marty McFly in Back to the Future wasn’t allowed to change the future (or wasn’t supposed to do anything that could impact his future self). You’re not under those restrictions! What do you wish you knew back then? How could that have helped you succeed faster, or change the way you chose your career path?

  • What advice would you give newbie self?
  • What do you know now that you really wish you knew back then?
  • What is the most important thing you think you could have known back then?
  • What one tidbit (or a list!) would have helped you succeed faster?
  • Was there something you did back then that you would stop yourself from doing again (not repeat)?
  • Any decisions or choices you would have handled differently?

Rewards: Bonus Points! All entrants will be awarded a 1000 bonus points by ActiveRain's own Fairy Godmother Kerrie, plus the very best posts (as judged by our panel) will get an additional....
  • #1 1500 bonus points
  • #2 1000 bonus points
  • #3   500 bonus points
Rules -- we're keeping it simple this challenge:
  • Post needs to be a minimum of 300 words.
  • Post needs to contain at least one graphic or image (Could be a photo of your newbie self! Dig out those old business cards and show us what you looked like then!)
When finished, post your link to your entry here, in the comment section below.
PLUS ....submit your name/AR user name/paste a link to your submission here: April 2013 Challenge Submission Link

Contest opens April 1 and ends April 30 (midnight ActiveRain time).
